A TRISTE VERDADE
Caiu nas minhas mãos "The Best American Comics - 2006", coletânea de quadrinhos editada por Harvey Pekar dentro da tradicional série The Best American da Houghton Mifflin. De Lloyd Dangle a Crumb, estão todos lá. Muito bom, pra dizer o óbvio.

Na introdução, Harvey Pekar escreve sobre o bizarro domínio dos super-heróis no conceito de quadrinhos que a maioria das pessoas têm.
Aspas pare ele:
"From the 1960s to the present, superhero comics like Spider
Man, The Fantastic Four, and X-Men remained the most popular. This was
absurd. Without dealing with the merits of current superhero comics, they
still form a division of the science fiction genre, which should not dominate
comics any more than they do prose books, films, or television, all versatile
forms of expression. While there is no realistic movement in straight comics,
there is one in alternative comics. Realism has been so important in the
novel, theater, film, and visual arts. How can mainstream comics ignore it
and other movements that flourish in other art forms? Mainstream comics
greatly ignore the medium’s potential."
